Research Abstract |
SIRT1 shuttled between the nuclei and cytoplasm. Nuclear SIRT1 suppressed oxidative stress-induced cell death by up-regulating Mn-SOD. SIRT1 accumulated in nuclei in cardiomyocytes of failing hearts probably as an endogenous adaptive mechanism and activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol reduced the mortality in cardiomyopathic hamsters. These findings suggest that SIRT1 activator may be a novel therapeutic approach for chronic heart failure.
